Scotch and Soda


A 10p and a 2p are shown freely in the magician's hand, it is shown that because the 10p is smaller than the 2p, it can be 'hidden' from view by placing the 10p underneath the 2p.

Thus creating an illusion that the 10p has disappeared!

But the coins are still there. Using just fingertips the magician places both coins into a spectator's hand that is then closed.

The magician's hands are clearly shown empty as both coins are in the spectator’s hand!

The spectator is holding 12p in total, and the magician boasts that he will magically remove 9p!

Which sounds impossible, but when the spectator opens their hand, they are left holding 3p!!

Easy to do and no slight of hand!

A great trick for amateurs and professionals.
